Smokey has been learning all about Fela Kuti and Afrobeat at the Kalakuta Museum in Ikeja, Lagos. What do you know and what would you like to find out about Nigerian music?
I know that fela was a flamboyant singer and musician and his concerts-many held at his lagos night club,the shrine-were lengthy and infectious. fela belted out his driving song's,gyrating as he performed on saxaphone or keyboard,directing his thunderous 27-member's band Egypt 80.
Super research Miriam. I hope to go to the Shrine tomorrow to see Fela's son Femi Kuit play. I will show you the pictures next term. What music would you like me to bring back from Lagos?
I know that fella kuti always perform with his saxophone and keyboard like the song that he sang along time ago.He is one of the best singers that never gave up and lots of people came to all of his concert which are great.great. Fella Kuti is also known as fella anikulapo or simply fella was a Nigeria muti-instrumentalist musician,com-poster,pioneer of the afrobeats music genre

In Nigeria people all over the country came and listened to Fela Kuti's songs and before he died he had two sons that looked after him which were named Femi Kuti and Sheun Kuti. His mother was called Fumilayo Ransome-Kuti who was born on (1900 and died on 1978). Fela Kuti is also known as Fela Anikulapo or simply Fela.
